County commissioners tackle courthouse repairs Dave Rogers

For The Record

They tossed around some obscene numbers for a socalled “Ike Dike,” played “hot potato” again on a decadesaway solution for skyrocketing retiree healthcare costs and extended deputies’ certificate pay another two weeks. But when it came to “brick and mortar” solutions, the Orange County Commissioners may have gotten closest to an answer with an early Tuesday afternoon workshop that addressed a fix for the front of the courthouse. Since 2015, the front of Orange County’s 1937 courthouse has been covered by scaffolding and yellow “caution” tape. The worry is that a piece of the marble adorning the front of the three-story building

might come crashing down. “Some of the bolts that hold the exterior ceiling of that marble are starting to Gothia corrode and that marble has dropped about a half inch,” Barry Burton, Precinct 2 commissioner, said. Burton noted it was a preliminary study of the courthouse by HVAC contractor Way Services that brought the problem to light. “It’s definitely a safety issue,” Burton said. “If that drops, that’s hundreds of pounds of marble that’s a safety issue for anybody standing under it. “Plus, it’s imported from Italy. It’s however old the court-

house is. It’s irreplaceable. You’re not going to find anything like it.” The uniqueness of the art deco courthouse is part of the

problem. Like most Texas courthouses, it has been designated an historic building and as such, any work that affects the original appearance

– inside or out – requires a lot of red tape and paperwork. John Dineen of HDR, a globe-trotting architectural firm out of Omaha, Nebraska,

delivered a proposal to prepare a Master Plan to meet Texas Historical Commission COUNTY BUSINESS Page 2A

BCTV middle school in action Dave Rogers

For The Record

You don’t have to see many clips of Felicity Matthews in her Supergirl cape to tell she’s a star. But Noah Story will sneak up on you. And so did a little project they’re calling Middle School BCTV in the Bridge City schools. More than 600 sixththrough eighth-graders can’t get enough. “This is probably the best class in school,” says Parker Ellis, “because everybody wants to be in it.” Ellis, Matthews and Story make up one third of the students in Bryan Bozman’s

class. Chloe Huff, Caden Shaw, Veronica Sanchez, Shay Fredeck and Bailee Dorman are others in the elective class for eighth-graders only. Using nothing more advanced than iPads and the cameras on their own phones, the students prepare short videos that are regularly shown in all the Bridge City Middle School classrooms. They started with morning newscasts. Now the videos air in the afternoons. And lately they’ve been working on a legacy project – a series of tutorials intended to show next year’s sixth-graders the way students should behave.

The latest one is entitled “Hallway Expectations” and features a Lion King theme. Bozman’s students write, produce, direct, record and edit the 4- to 5-minute videos. And they’ll have “extras” appearing as well. Matthews appeared as the voice of reason – a superhero with a Supergirl cape, actually – in early videos. After rowdy students displayed how NOT to do it, she entered to theme music and straightened everybody out. But there are roles for everybody. “I enjoyed making the videos,” said Huff, who does a fair bit of editing, creates new music with an app and

makes frequent on-camera appearances. Sanchez enjoys writing and, as it turns out, coming into her own through the class. “I was really quiet at school,” she said moments after joining Huff and Matthews in an appearance before a recent school board meeting. “A lot of people didn’t know me. It [the BCTV class] got me out there. Other kids ask me about it. They want to try.” Story is the class “weatherman.” He puts together his reports with a quick glance at BCTV Page 2A

David Jones: Run the mile you are in Debby Schamber For The Record

“Run the mile you are in,” not only applies to running marathons, but also to daily living. It is also the motto David Jones, of Gopher Industrial, chooses to live his life. Jones’ recently completed the Boston Marathon April 17th with a time of 4:02:34 and an average pace of 9:15, but his journey to the marathon began as an accident. Jones who is active in the Orange community met Cristy Burnett (Smith) at a gala she hosted to raise money for The Cure Starts Now Foundation which collects money to help children who suffer from brain cancer. Cristy and her husband, Deon, lost their first born son, Corbin to a rare form of brain cancer.

David Jones, of Orange, recently completed the Boston Marathon. The encouragement of people and children along the race and the thoughts of Indy Parkhurst and Corbin Burnett helped him to persevere and complete the 26.2 mile marathon.

The rare form of brain cancer, diffuse pontine glioma, which is inoperable affects about 250 children per year. Unfortunately, there is currently no cure for this deadly disease which is also the most resistant of all cancers to treatment. DIPG affects the pons portion of the brainstem which renders the nervous system function impossible. Symptoms include double vision, inability to close the eyelids completely, dropping one side of the face, and difficulty chewing and swallowing. Unfortunately these symptoms usually worsen rapidly because the tumor is rapidly growing. Corbin was always a very happy little boy with a love of hunting with his father, baseball and the need for speed while riding his dirt bike. In September of 2001, Corbin

CMYK

was diagnosed with the inoperable tumor in his brain stem. Over the next ten and a half months, Corbin’s parents watched their smart, athletic, all-American boy succumb to an unbeatable disease which they had no control over. Corbin faced his illness and death with dignity and grace when he died in August 2002 which would have been his first day of junior high school. Anyone would think such as rare form of cancer would not happen again in such a small community. But, it did when the cancer struck three-yearold Indy Parkhurst in February 2011. Indy’s spirit captured the hearts of many during his short life. During his illness, he fought hard, and his stubborn, carefree spirit refused to give up or give in. CROSSING Page 2A

• The Record • Week of Wednesday, April 26, 2017

Crossing the finish line Throughout his treatments, Indy remained happy and active, amazing his doctors. Indy’s smiles were famous. However, he lost the battle in January 2013. Jones was with his friend, Steve Parkhurst, Indy’s father, who was having a tough day when the pair went for a ride in 2011. But, this one was truly life changing. They were involved in a wreck which overturned the vehicle and Jones’ hand was crushed right below his wrist. There were talks of amputation and even after multiple surgeries, there were still talks of the hand not making it. “It was pretty tough for a few years,” Jones said of the ordeal. He didn’t lose his hand and years later the hand is usable, but has been fused together. However, considering it was nearly decapitated, he has come a long way. During the many surgeries, Jones continued on with his life and attended a conference with the Little Cypress Mauriceville CISD School Board in 2013. The motivational guest speaker was Robyn Benincasa who was a world renowned

champion adventure racer. Benincasa had gone through severe injuries and surgeries as well. Her tenacity helped her through overcoming stage four osteoarthritis and having a hip replacement. She continued to run marathons and work as a firefighter by her hard work and determination. Jones had always participated in running and cycling and was intrigued with the speaker. At the end of her speech, Jones got in line to meet the New York Times best-selling author to have her autograph the book. He was the last person in line and as he approached she noticed the brace on his hand. She inquired what was wrong and he told her the details. Then she asked him about his “comeback goals.” He informed her he had done some running of about five to six miles but Benincasa suggested he run a marathon. Benincasa autographed Jones’ book but included, “see you at the finish line.” She also said she wanted him to send her a picture of him crossing the finish line of his next marathon.

County business requirements. The total cost for the plan and the repair work would be in the $200,000 to $250,000 range, said Burton and Orange County Judge Stephen Brint Carlton. But grants from the Historical Commission could shave up to about $100,000 off the county’s cost. Carlton said he expects a quick decision from the four commissioners who sit with him on county court. “We’ll probably put up an agenda item in the next week or two,” Carlton said. “We’ve got to make a decision pretty quickly in order to meet the time frame.” According to Dineen, his company would need about 105 days to put together a master plan and another 45 days to get it approved by THC. That amount of time leaves only a few days before October, which he characterized as the 2017 deadline to apply for grants. The opposite of a “tight” deadline crossed commissioners’ desks later Tuesday in

Jones took on the marathon challenge and set out to make it a reality. He began by running the Gusher half-marathon in Beaumont. But, he didn’t stop there. He kept running and collecting medals and pictures of him crossing finish lines. As his times grew shorter but he gained strength, he began the process of working up to a full marathon. But, he would need help. He found it when he trained in Virginia with a trainer from the Project Athena Foundation, Vanessa Spiller. Finally, he was ready for the Grand Canyon Rim2Rim Trek in September 2015. The grueling marathon of the Grand Canyon travels down the south rim and across the canyon floor and then back up the north rim while wearing a back pack in the brutal heat. The heat index on that particular day was 108 degrees. He triumphantly completed the marathon and others along the way before running in the Houston Chevron Marathon in January 2016. Jones still had his eye on the prize and was working toward the next finish line. However,

qualifying for the Boston Marathon is no easy task. A runner’s age on the day of the marathon is the one that determines what age group standard the runner must meet. To enter the race, a qualifying time must have been run according to guidelines. “They only take the best runners,” Jones said. Qualifying for the Boston Marathon via the Houston Chevron Marathon was not an easy achievement for Jones, but his motivation was Corbin, Indy and their families. In addition to the people he met along the way. He joined forces with Ike Adams, of Beaumont, who lost a brother, Michael Adams, to cancer. As the event moved along and times were released, Jones watched and in the end, he qualified by three seconds. But, once Jones qualified, then there was the training. Hours of running, and for something we don’t have much of in Southeast Texas, elevation. “The Boston Marathon is one of the toughest,” Jones said. This year, the marathon was even tougher because of other factors such as heat which at the peak of the marathon was a scorching 79 degrees. For a

the form of paperwork from the U.S. Corps of Engineers (COE) regarding a proposed coastal barrier running from along the Gulf of Mexico from south Texas to Louisiana. Called the “Gulf Coast Levee System” by Carlton, the project is also known as the “Ike Dike.” It doesn’t have Congressional approval, or any funding so far. The COE called for Orange County to sign a non-binding letter of intent, not a problem, everyone agreed. But it also required Carlton to sign a certificate stating Orange County had financial capability to pay. As it stands, Carlton, disclosed, the COE’s estimated cost of the Orange County part of the Ike Dike would be $1.9 billion, of which Orange County would be expected to pay $700 million. “The financial side -- that’s just ludicrous,” declared Jody Crump, Precinct 4 commissioner. Later, he termed it “a politely worded federal extortion attempt.”

Michael Johnson issues statement on candidacy for BCISD trustee My name is Michael C. Johnson. I am running for re-election to the Bridge City Independent School District’s Board of Trustees place #6, and I am asking for your vote in the coming school board election. I have had the opportunity and honor to spend the past six years in this position, and have deeply cherished my time serving my community and protecting our children. While I feel I have thus... far fulfilled my duties and Michael Johnson responsibilities to the students,parents and wife Lori and employees of BCISD to the best of my abilities, I also feel there are still areas of improvement within the school district that need to be addressed. If re-elected, I will continue to pursue the best interested of our kids with dedication, steadfast ethical values, and an insistent desire for improving our beloved school district. For those of you who do not yet know me, I graduated from Bridge City High School in 1980, and have spent my entire life here in the surrounding area. I have raised three wonderful children, April, Michael and Bryson, and I’m proud to say that all three have graduated from the University of Texas at Austin and are living extraordinary lives. My oldest, April, with her husband Craig, has two children of her own, August and Elise, who are the greatest grandchildren a person could ask for. My beautiful wife Lori and I have also been heavily involved within the community. I’ve spent the past fourteen years serving as a board member at Bridge City Little League, where Lori and I spent ten of those years volunteering to coach a six and seven year old softball team. We now currently coach a select softball team, but I remain on the board at Bridge City Little League, currently serving as the Vice President of Girl’s Softball. In recent years I have participated in Bridge City Chamber of Commerce, and been a member of BridgePoint Fellowship Church. Beyond sitting on the school board for the past six years, I have also served as president of the school board during the 2013-2014 school year. While serving in this position can be tough at times, it’s truly a rewarding experience. I care deeply about this community, and having the power and ability to make a difference in today’s youth is a very special honor that should never be taken lightly.I promise to continue to serve this district with honesty,intergrity and will always base my decisions on what is best for the children of this great school district.I ask that you please invest some of your time into the kids of BCISD, and show up to the voting booths.

which said “Running for Indy and Corbin, www.thecurestartsnow.org. “I thought those kids went through more than this, they were fighters,” Jones said. “I drew on that strength.” In the end, he did cross the finish line. His family was there to cheer him on along with the thousands of people at the event. In addition, wherever he went he was greeted with congratulations. Jones headed a campaign to raise money for the foundation by placing cans at local businesses. In the end, they were able to donate more than $10,000 to the Cure Starts Now. “Through an injury I was given a platform and a voice,” Jones said. Jones has thought to himself many times, what if it were him who lost a child and of the struggle the family goes through. Jones pauses while he thinks of this and tears fill his eyes. He catches his breath and continues. While the families work to live their lives after losing a loved one to cancer, Jones says he will continue to stand in and “be the voice.”

runner, the higher temperature can be extremely difficult. Jones was met with unexpected challenges the closer he got to the day of the marathon. Two months leading up to the big day he was not able to train due to injuries. However, he continued to read books on running marathons in order to learn more tactics and stay motivated. Then just days before the marathon he had a stomach virus which left him weakened. He also nearly missed his flight. Determined to see the finish line he persevered to Boston. He stood among 30,000 runners waiting and worrying, but, telling himself he was going to give it what he had. As he began mile eight, he had doubts if he would finish as everything seemed to be working against him. He was weary and dehydrated but pushed forward. Around mile 18 he began having leg cramps. He did not want to be a “DNF” which is what marathon runners refer to a “did not finish.” What encouraged him to finish were the crowds of people who were cheering him on to completion. But, they were yelling for him to do it for Corbin and Indy. Jones had worn a shirt

Carlton said even if the county took out a 5-percent, 50-year loan to pay the $700 million, the annual Ike Dike charge would be $43 million, after you throw in $5 million per year for upkeep. That’s equal to 1.5 times the county’s total annual tax receipts. John Gothia, Precinct 3 commissioner, came loaded with comparison information on public and private retirement benefits, studies that

showed Orange County to be far more beneficial than most others. But after its third discussion in a month about the possibility of eliminating health insurance payments as a retirement benefit for future county employees, the court members seemed more uncertain than ever of the best solution. No action was taken when the issue was came up on the mid-afternoon agenda.

his iPhone. “He’s the one who takes the least takes to get it right,” Bozman says of Story. “Now our ladies who do the announcements, we won’t talk about how long they take. Shay and Chloe laugh too much.” Middle School BCTV was just an idea last spring, when its first class of students signed up. “At the start of class last summer, we all sat down and talked about where we wanted it to go, what it might look like,” Bozman said. “We knew the first year was going to be a growing deal, that it would change as we found out what we could do and what we couldn’t.” The classes first three videos were rejected by principal Lydia Gonzales-Burton. “On the first ones, the volume was not right. You couldn’t see people very well,” Bozman recalls. “They have gotten much better.” Soon, it’ll be back to drawing board. The students will be moving on to Bridge City High School, where a BCTV class has been around for a while. And Middle School BCTV will have a brand new cast.

Deadline to sign up for the 2017 Earl Thomas III Free Football Skill Camp is Friday, April 28, according to the flyer organizers have circulated. But anyone who knows Orange’s All-Pro and All-American football star knows that’s wrong. “Earl never turns away anybody,” Debbie Thomas, his mother, reminded Tuesday. “That deadline is for ordering Tshirts,” she said. The camp, the seventh annual put on by the Seattle Seahawks safety, a Super Bowl 49 champion, will be June 23-24, from 8 a.m. to noon each day, at West Orange-Stark High School’s Dan R.

All campers will have an opportunity to meet and work with Earl Thomas and other NFL players. “He loves giving back to the community and he loves motivating the youth,” Debbie Thomas said. “He lets them know hard work pays off. He’s encouraging them that dreams do come true. “He tells them to apply themselves to school, that things are going to get hard, but never quit.” The free in Thomas’ Free Football Skill Camp goes back to a time when, as a youngster and the middle of three children of Debbie and Earl

Thomas Jr. couldn’t find the money to attend a football camp he was interested in. “He told himself growing up, ‘If you’re blessed to put on a camp some day, make it free so anybody who wants to attend can attend,” Debbie Thomas said.

Dates have been set for the Little Cypress-Mauriceville Boys Basketball Camp. Sessions for incoming third through sixth graders will be May 30 through June 2.

Reagan in 1981 had a 68 percent approval rating; Obama, 2009—65 percent; George W. Bush, 2001—62 percent; George H. Bush, 1989—56 percent; Bill Clinton, 1993—55 percent; Trump, 2017—40 percent. Trump has had some major setbacks to proposals he promised in the first 100 days. Repeal and Replace Obamacare went down the tube with withdrawal. Immigration orders were blocked by Federal courts, National Security Advisor Michael Flynn was forced to resign and may be headed to the joint. The FBI has confirmed the investigation into Trump associates colluding with Russia in election meddling. Only 22 nominees have been confirmed. In comparison, Obama had 69; Reagan, 80; George H., 50; Clinton, 49. Trump rushed to make it appear he had many accomplishments. He signed 25 executive orders, 22 memoranda and 20 proclamations, with no congressional action. It shows his actions are more cosmetic than they are substantive. Not a single piece of legislation, just executive orders that Obama was slammed for. Trump has spent more time golfing and tweeting than being president. Just no major accomplishments give him the worst record of any former presidents. Trump’s major goal is a big beautiful wall running from Mexico to California. It’s an ego thing. Over the wall, Trump is like a kid who screams and kicks and fall to the floor. He is willing to risk shutting down the government if he doesn’t get his wall. The sick ego thing with Trump is that he wants his own monument at the cost of 44 billion. At every entrance there would be a plaque that reads, “Built by the 45th President of the United States Donald J. Trump.” That Trump wall would be his Mount Rushmore. I guarantee you that is what it’s all about. Far more Mexicans are now going home than coming in. There may be bigger problems ahead for the Trump Administration. Legal problems. USA TODAY, in an exclusive report Monday, tells about Trump’s allies cashing in as lobbyists. Trump and Vice-president Pence have attracted dozens of new lobbying friends who are raking in millions. One lobbyist along, Brian Ballard, a Florida Trump friend, has already earned $2.2 million. The full USA report presents a completely opposite picture of what candidate Trump claimed he would do about “Draining the Swamp.” Not to be overlooked is Trump urging “Buy American, Hire American.” It is now widely reported that many Trump branded products are still manufactured abroad and that Ivanka’s clothing line is made in China and she got an ok for six more trade marks from China’s president while he dined with the Trumps. Throw in that many employees are Mar-aLago are not American citizens. Trump should start with his own companies. The first 100 days shows a lot of hypocrisy and deception and it would get worse if he released his tax returns. There is fear of impeachment. If a Democratic senate is elected at midterm, impeachment is most likely. That’s my guess. How can you drain the swamp if unidentified creatures are allowed to sneak in and out of the White House.

CAJUN STORY OF THE WEEK In January, New York archaeologists found traces of copper cable and dey came to da conclusion dat dere ancestors had a telephone network more dan 150 years ago. Not to be outdone, a Los Angeles archaeologist dug to a depth of 22 feets outside Oceanside, CA, and found a 175 year old copper. Dey came to da conclusion California had advanced high tech communications 25 years earlier dan New York. Jus las week da Lafayette Daily News reported the following, “After digging down about 40 feet in a pasture near Abbeville, Joe P. Dessormeaux, a self-taught archaeologist dat had previously found many Indian bones and bones of pre-historic creatures, reported dat he found absolutely nutten.

Brad Paisley has collaborated with 74-year-old “Whispering” Bill Anderson, Mick Jagger, John Fogerty and Timberland on his new 16-song album, “Love and War” that came out last weekend. Paisley has bolstered the traditional tenets of county music as much or more than anyone of his generation. Country music is as pop as it has ever been. Paisley has released one of the most country albums and perhaps his best. John Carter Cash, Johnny and June’s only child brought Paisley a poem his father had written, “Gold All Over the Ground.” Brad put the music to it and it’s on the album. Also, “Dying to See Her” is a song written by Paisley and Anderson, who says it’s the story of his parents. His father had a bench by his mother’s grave where he would sit and cry. It’s a great country album to own.***** Bruce Springsteen “The Boss” has a new track that might make President Trump sad. The tune titled, “That’s What Makes Us Great” takes aim at Trump’s temporary immigration ban. The song’s lyrics, written by Joe Groshecky, preaches unity and encourages acceptance. “Some wanna slam the door instead of opening the gate. Aw, let’s turn this thing around before it gets too late. *****Please patronize our advertisers. Thanks for making us number one in readership. Read us cover to cover. Thanks for your time, have a nice week. Take care and God please bless America.

A FEW HAPPENINGS Judge Janice’s , grandson Matt Menard came back to Baylor for one more season of baseball when everyone, including Matt, believed he had used up his eligibility. His bat is hotter than it’s ever been. The pros might be coming.*****One of the Savoy girls, pretty Pam, stopped

Flounder deserve 2017 NFL draft begins tomorrow in Philly higher ratings KAZ’S KORNER Joe Kazmar For The Record

Capt. Dickie Colburn

COLBURN: FISHING Capt. Dickie Colburn For The Record A stiff southeast wind altered our game plan the moment we cleared East Pass. Only the day before we had experienced a very decent trout bite on the west side of the lake, but it was apparent that yet another Plan B would be in order. Fortunately, we opted to take advantage of a bite that none of us expected or even considered before leaving the dock. A little bird activity that further fueled our desire to chase trout ended quickly, but we continued to grind away with trout on the brain.An hour of casting into the wind, picking away at backlashes and changing lures produced three keeper fish and none of them were trout. “I have nothing against catching flounder and redfish,” said Dale Byrley as we idled back toward the shoreline to make another drift. The water on the first 10 to 15 yards of shoreline was protected and reasonably calm and all three fish came out of that narrow band of water. “We’ve caught two nice flounder and a slot red so far,” noted Kyle Simms, “why aren’t we trying to catch them?”That concession was music to my ears as they had earlier vowed that nothing but a trophy trout would do! The conditions were perfect for catching flounder. The bull tide had pushed the water well up into the cane, pods of small shad were moving in and out of the grass and the clearer water did wonders for our confidence.Topwaters and 5-inch Assassins gave way to a 3 inch Usual Suspect Swim bait and a pearl-chartreuse Chicken Boy Bubba Clucker. We rigged the Bubba Clucker on a 1/8^th ounce horsehead jig and doctored both lures up with Menhaden scent.When we stopped at noon to drink a soda and eat a piece of the worst boudain I have ever eaten in my life (it wasn’t made around here or east of the Sabine) we had four reds and eight fat flounder in the box. That’s not exactly knocking it out of the park, but it was far better than we had been doing looking for that elusive trophy trout or for that matter, any trout at all. Not that either of the two lures won’t catch both species, but every slot red we caught hit the Usual Suspect. There is little doubt that the fall migration gets the most ink when it comes to flounder fishing, but for years I literally made a significant portion of my income on the backs of spring flounder.I would finish up my bass and crappie trips the end of April and fill the next three months targeting flounder here at home. Had we known about the effectiveness of building brush piles back then, I undoubtedly would have stayed on TBend year round. What we did figure out was that catching flounder was all but a guarantee every day.If we couldn’t find them in the mouths of the bayous or Game reserve canals, we pounded the grass along the shoreline.We knew nothing about the significance of the bull tides of spring that kept

On February 8, 1936 the first National Football League draft was held in Philadelphia without any media coverage. Tomorrow the 82nd NFL draft returns to the City of Brotherly Love for the first time since 1961 and 11th time overall with more media coverage than can be imagined. Also more than 200,000 people are expected to visit the one-half mile area where the draft will occur and should enjoy all of the festivities that accompany this year’s event for free. It should be the largest fan experience ever produced by the NFL and is

predicted to generate $80 million in economic impact for the city of Philadelphia. The full cost of the NFL draft is estimated at $20 million with the league covering Joe Kazmar $20 million and the remaining $5 million is coming from private funding secured by the city. The NFL selected as its headquarters for the three-day draft one of the world’s most famous movie locations—the steps leading to the Art Museum that fictional hero Rocky Balboa made famous in the series of

Rocky movies. “We had talked about a couple of different venues for the NFL and they wanted the Rocky steps and they wanted the art Museum,” Philadelphia mayor Jim Kenney told The Associated Press last week. “So that’s what we gave them. It will be a terrific event.” Texas A&M defensive end Myles Garrett is expected to be the first player taken by the Cleveland Browns tomorrow night. Three quarterbacks—Clemson’s DeShaun Watson, Pat Mahomes of Texas Tech and North Carolina’s Mitchell Trubiski—are expected to go high in the first round and may not be available when it comes around to the Houston Texans turn at the No. 25 slot.

Drafting a quarterback is the top priority for the Texans but they may have to settle for whoever is available in the latter rounds if none of the top three choices are available or they may have to nab a free agent, trade for one or sign an undrafted free agent. Quarterback Tom Savage is at the top of the Texans’ depth chart with veteran Brandon Weeden as the backup, but both will play the 2017 season on the final year of their respective contracts. This could very well be the first time in franchise history that the Texans will focus on a quarterback since David Carr was taken as the first choice in the first round in 2002. Gen-

The sound of the garage door opening broke the silence as I stood there at my own personal weather station. You know the one, the one we all use to determine how the day is going to be, and the one that we use to tell if the meteorologist on TV is worth their salary or not. I looked up at the trees and judged the wind, not a leaf rustling, the day has potential. The temperature was ideal, just enough heat to let you know the days of winter were in our rear view mirror but still a long way from the melt down days of summer that are sure to come. All the variables pointed to a day with plenty of potential, I would do my best not to waste the opportunity. With my little skiff in tow I eased down the road and got a feel for the water level as I crossed one of the many bayous that run through town. The water was a little lower than normal and that would certainly help out my shallow water program by concentrating the redfish in smaller areas. Things were definitely shaping up and the odds would appear

to be in our favor. The final piece to the puzzle were my angling friends for the day, H o w a r d Watson and Steve Guynes, two very accomplished fishermen who I enjoy sharing my boat with. As a matter of fact Howard was my very first client I ever took fishing and over the years he has become a great friend to not only me but my family as well. His passion for chasing fish on light line is matched by few and over the years he has fallen in love with fishing the Sabine area. Today we are going to probe the marsh for redfish and each of us is looking forward to the adventure. The morning starts off full of promise as our first destination proves to be a perfect starting point. Several fish make tell tale mud boils and push healthy wakes as they make room for us in the pond. Both Watson and Guynes start the day off with topwater plugs just knowing a surface eruption is right around the corner. The sun is now creeping up past the horizon and the temperature is perfect. The added light makes spotting the fish much easier

eral Manager Rick Smith says as quarterback will be chosen in the first two rounds. In Smith’s first 10 drafts three quarterbacks have been selected—Alex Brink in 2008 (7th round), T.J. Yates in 2011 (5th) and Savage in 2014 (4th round). Besides quarterback, Houston wants to beef up the offensive line in this week’s draft. Head Coach Bill O’Brien prefers bigger, more physical offensive lineman. Wisconsin’s Ryan Ramczyk might be an option in the first round if the stellar quarterbacks are already gone. Now that veteran nose guard Vince Wilfork is retired, J.J. Watt’s replacement when he was injured Christian Covington is more comfortable as a rotational player and D.J Reader, who started opposite Watt will move to nose guard. So the Texans may find a potential starter on Day 2 in Alabama’s Dalvin Tomlinson or Michigan’s Chris Wormley. And with safety Quintin Demps moving on to Chicago, the Texans must replace his production of six interceptions and could take Jabrill Peppers early. As far as the Dallas Cowboys are concerned, owner/general

and we all begin to pick out fish. For whatever reason the redfish ignore the surface offerings and remain tight lipped causing us all to scratch our heads. A new game plan is put in play and almost instantly pays dividends. A weightless soft plastic strikes the first fish as Watson bows his rod over and watches a heavy redfish put on a show while steadily taking line off the reel. For that moment in time all is right with the world and the three figures in the boat all know it without saying a word. The big redfish eventually comes to the boat and just as we suspected it’s a toad, a solid 12 pound fish that stretched the tape to 32 inches. A few quick snapshots and the fish is released unharmed to fight another day. That episode would soon repeat itself several times over the course of the day, quality fish that had shunned the topwater plugs would readily inhale the soft plastic offerings. No the strikes were not quite as visual but the end results were just the same and for the most part that’s all that really counts when you think about it. Too many times we get so caught up in how we do something, the “live vs artificial” war between anglers is the first

thing that comes to my mind on the subject. “Fly vs Conventional” is another battle that makes zero sense to me. Begrudging someone or belittling their accomplishments because it’s not like how you like to do it is a little much on the “holier than thou” scale isn’t it? As fishermen we all want one basic thing, a pull on the end of our line in some form or fashion. Some want a bigger pull than others. Some want more than just one pull, in fact they want a bunch of pulls. Regardless of how you go about it we all want the pull and that makes us all basically the same. Some of the most fun trips I have ever been a part of were when anglers who were way up on the skill chart took time to go back and do something less complicated. Watching guys who made their name winning tournaments and perfecting techniques that would drive the average angler nuts reverting back to things they did when they were kids. To see guys in a tournament boat that resembles a NASCAR anchored up pitching live bait or dragging a cork is as refreshing as the laughter that inevitably follows. To just fish and have a good time is what this whole sport is about; don’t ever lose sight of that fact.

From Page 1B manager/head coach wannabe Jerry Jones says his Number One priority in this week’s draft is to find a “war daddy” pass rusher. ey will look hard for an edge rusher in the draft. e Cowboys recently added local college product Damontre Moore and hopes he can live up to his potential. Cornerback is another desperate need after both Morris Claiborne and Brandon Carr left for greener pastures. Luckily, the draft is full of competent potential starting cornerbacks and they could very well earmark one in the first round. e same situation exists at safety after J.J. Wilson and Barry Church went the free agent route. e middle rounds should have some talented candidates like Justin Evans or Eddie Jackson. e front office is not happy with kick returner Lucky Whitehead both on the field and off and will target one either in the late rounds or in free agency. Jones believes the offense is all right but is concerned about the defense. Otherwise Cowboy fans may have to settle for basketball scores this football season.

Uncertain but Unshaken Four Anchors for the Waves You Face

By Dave Zuleger Pastor desiringGod.org How do we anchor our souls when the waves of life threaten to undo us? When we get hit by a terrifying diagnosis? When the constant emotional or physical pain won’t cease? When the dark clouds of depression continue to hover? When we lose our job? When the next step in life is unsettlingly unclear? In other words, what do we do when our present circumstances seem far too substantial and confusing for our very limited abilities and understanding? For those who feel the world crashing in around them, here are four soul-steadying reminders from Psalm 46. 1. God Is Our Protection God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear though the earth gives way, though the mountains be moved into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam, though the mountains tremble at its swelling. (Psalm 46:1–3) We see God as our refuge and strength — a reality God’s people knew then, and one we enjoy even more deeply now in Christ. In Christ we can know that God is always for us in our suffering and uncertainty. “He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, how will he not also with him graciously give us all things?” (Romans 8:32). Because of Christ, the Spirit lives inside of us as a very present help in trouble. Jesus promised to never leave us or forsake us (Matthew 28:20), and Psalm 46 points to that fulfillment in the Spirit. When we feel like everything is uncertain, when the mountains might as well crash into the sea, the first thing we do is remember that our protection is not in better circumstances, or in avoiding the problems, or in anything on this earth. Instead, our protection is the very present Holy Spirit and the rock-solid work of Jesus on our behalf, which has guaranteed our help and promised that we will make it safely home to glory.

2. God Is Our Pleasure There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God, the holy habitation of the Most High. God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved; God will help her when morning dawns. (Psalm 46:4–5) The scene suddenly shifts from raging seas and falling mountains to a life-giving river with sweet streams that make the city of God rejoice. Notice: she will not be moved. That she must be the city of God, which means the people in the city rejoice in their safety within the city’s walls. Because of the presence of God, we will not be moved. Because he is a very present, never-failing help in trouble, our safety and our gladness are secure. When everything else feels like it’s impossible to enjoy, when Satan threatens to undo us and rob us of all joy, we can raise our eyes and realize we are in the city of God. He is with us! And one day, we will be with him face to face in the new heavens and new earth. Nothing can steal this joy. More than that, we know we will wake up the next morning and God will still be with us to help us again. There will be new mercies every morning — mercies that will be enough for that day and mercies that will not run out a moment too soon. 3. God Is Our Power The nations rage, the kingdoms totter; he utters his voice, the earth melts. The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress. Come, behold the works of the

Lord, how he has brought desolations on the earth. He makes wars cease to the end of the earth; he breaks the bow and shatters the spear; he burns the chariots with fire. (Psalm 46:6–9) Everything the psalmist has said so far would be for naught if God weren’t strong enough to bring it about. Now, we see his strength. The entire world rages and totters. Everything conspires against you. The whole power of the cursed world heads your direction. What will God do? Utter his voice. And the earth melts before him. It melts. The God of hosts, the God who fights on our behalf, is with us as our fortress, and all he has to do is speak to win the battle. And then, to prove his power, the psalmist calls us to look at his works as proof. He’s brought desolations, he’s stopped wars, he’s broken bows and shattered spears, and he’s burned chariots with fire. In other words, nothing is a match for him. From this side of the cross, we can go even further: he’s sent his Son to die for our sins. He’s raised him up again in victory, guaranteeing our final victory. Come, behold the works of the Lord. Nothing that rises against you can stand before him. 4. God’s Purpose “Be still, and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!” The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress. (Psalm 46:10–11) David repeats the promise that God will defend us. Verse 10 tells us why God promises

his protection, pleasure, and power to fragile and uncertain people. He says, “I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!” God’s purpose is his glory. God promises he will glorify his name in all the earth. God promises to show that he indeed is the greatest protection, he indeed is the greatest pleasure, and he indeed is the greatest power. And in Jesus, God has pledged it all to us. Jesus has taken the punishment; now all we know is grace. So, when we wonder if God will continue to shelter us with his protection, satisfy us with his pleasure, and sustain us to fight another day of uncertainty with his power, our answer is, Of course he will; his name is at stake! Of course he will; he is working in me to keep me and sustain me for his glory! This means we can trust God to do what’s best for us to reach eternal pleasure with him. It means that even if his protection looks like taking everything else away — health, comfort, convenience, friends, family, jobs, or whatever — he will keep us safe in Christ. It means he will help us to make it, because his name is invested in the lives of his people. There is no greater comfort for us in our pain and uncertainty. Be Still and Know So, how do we respond when life is uncertain? We stop. We become still. We pray. We ask for help. We remember that he is God, and we are not. And we trust him to be our mighty fortress, and to bring new mercies, and to work his power on our behalf, whatever it takes. We remember that he is God and that he is enough. And then we ask him for help to trust him more through the uncertainty and pain, and to give us more of himself in the uncertainty and pain. Dave Zuleger (@DaveZuleger) graduated from Bethlehem Seminary in Minneapolis and serves as pastor for preaching at Sojourners Church in Albert Lea, Minnesota. He is a husband and father of three.
